Following a private meeting in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Russian President Putin shared details of their conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting took place on August 15, 2025, and involved a three-hour, closed-door discussion. The specifics were not publicly disclosed, but Putin later shared insights with Modi during the SCO summit in Tianjin, China.
The conversation between Putin and Modi occurred inside a Russian-made Aurus car. The actual car journey took only 15 minutes; however, they extended the discussion by an additional 45 minutes. Modi and Putin discussed ways to bolster cooperation in trade, fertilizers, space, security, and culture. Furthermore, they addressed regional and global issues, including finding peaceful resolutions for the conflict in Ukraine. Modi took to social media to share a photo of their meeting and described the conversation as profound.
